对在线报纸文章提供的与健康有关的信息的可靠性和准确性的关注有所增加。关于网上信息的质量评估,已经提出和公布了许多标准和项目,但是在线报纸没有标准的质量评估工具。
本研究旨在为在线报纸文章开发健康信息质量评估工具(HIQUAL)。
我们回顾了以前的健康信息质量评估工具和相关研究,并相应地制定和定制了新的标准。对新评估工具的评估者之间的协议进行了评估,针对3篇关于不同主题的报纸文章(结直肠癌,肥胖基因检测,和高血压诊断标准)使用Fleissκ和Gwet一致系数。要比较每对工具生成的质量分数,收敛有效性是使用Kendallτ排序相关性来衡量的。
总的来说,报纸文章的HIQUAL包括5个领域的10个项目:可靠性,有用性,可理解性,充足,和透明度。Theinterrateragreementforthearticleoncollearcancerwasinthemediumtosubstantialrange(Fleissκ=0.48,SE0.11;Gwetagreementcoefficient=0.74,SE0.13),虽然对于介绍肥胖基因检测的文章来说,它在很大的范围内,两项措施的值分别为0.63(SE0.28)和0.86(SE0.10),分别。关于高血压诊断标准的文章的一致性相对较低,分别为0.20(SE0.10)和0.75(SE0.13),分别。用Kendallτ评估的相关性的有效性显示工具之间具有良好的相关性(HIQUALvsDISCERN=0.72,HIQUALvsQUEST[质量评估评分工具]=0.69)。
我们开发了一种新的评估工具来评估在线报纸文章中的健康信息质量,帮助消费者识别准确的健康信息来源。HIQUAL可以帮助提高韩国在线健康信息的准确性和质量。
Concern regarding the reliability and accuracy of the health-related information provided by online newspaper articles has increased. Numerous criteria and items have been proposed and published regarding the quality assessment of online information, but there is no standard quality assessment tool available for online newspapers.
This
study aimed to develop the Health Information Quality Assessment Tool (HIQUAL) for online newspaper articles.
We reviewed previous health information quality assessment tools and related studies and accordingly developed and customized new criteria. The interrater agreement for the new assessment tool was assessed for 3 newspaper articles on different subjects (colorectal cancer, obesity genetic testing, and hypertension diagnostic criteria) using the Fleiss κ and Gwet agreement coefficient. To compare the quality scores generated by each pair of tools, convergent validity was measured using the Kendall τ ranked correlation.
Overall, the HIQUAL for newspaper articles comprised 10 items across 5 domains: reliability, usefulness, understandability, sufficiency, and transparency. The interrater agreement for the article on colorectal cancer was in the moderate to substantial range (Fleiss κ=0.48, SE 0.11; Gwet agreement coefficient=0.74, SE 0.13), while for the article introducing obesity genetic testing it was in the substantial range, with values of 0.63 (SE 0.28) and 0.86 (SE 0.10) for the two measures, respectively. There was relatively low agreement for the article on hypertension diagnostic criteria at 0.20 (SE 0.10) and 0.75 (SE 0.13), respectively. Validity of the correlation assessed with the Kendall τ showed good correlation between tools (HIQUAL vs DISCERN=0.72, HIQUAL vs QUEST [Quality Evaluation Scoring Tool]=0.69).
We developed a new assessment tool to evaluate the quality of health information in online newspaper articles, to help consumers discern accurate sources of health information. The HIQUAL can help increase the accuracy and quality of online health information in Korea.
